Monday--Happy Father's Day to Dad! He endured a makeover I'm promoting at Mile High Mamas called "Slob to Suave" where the winner will receive a $100 gift card for JC Penny. Since Dad isn't really a "slob" I had to improvise for the "Before" picture, Canadian-style. The "After" picture is him sporting his spiffy new clothes.
Tuesday--Jamie got interviewed by National Geographic. It is my life's goal to be in that magazine and he will be made famous there for his PUMPKINS? There is no justice in the world.
We also picnicked at Lion's Park in Golden and watched the kayakers.
And yes, Hadley picked that outfit all by herself, why do you ask?
Wednesday--Dad and I drove 3 hours round-trip to Colorado Springs to retrieve his now-fixed car. We did a fabulous hike to Seven Bridges up North Cheyenne Canon Park and I was impressed by this 68-year-old man who can still hold his own on the trail.
That is a nice way of saying he could still kick my butt if he wanted to.
Today--We're heading to Boulder to have lunch at Chautauqua's Dining Hall and stroll around Pearl Street.
In other news: Jamie surprised me with an iPhone of my very own. This is partly because he is thoughtful and generous.
But mostly because he was sick of me swiping his.

Awesome - love the pictures! Looks like a grand ol' time.
And....Jamie is going to be in NG??!! How cool is that? They always say ~ Follow your Bliss! :)
I will watch for the issue - I feel invested now! :)
I thought you were going to say he got you the iPhone for stealing your NG dream.
Love the pictures!!!
iphone...cool!!
Sounds like you are having a great time. If I come visit will you show me the sights too?
Sorry sorry about the pumpkins, although cool that he's famous now. one day you'll have your turn.
sounds like a fun week. i'm glad you've been having such a good time with your parents.
an iphone!? i'm jealous. one day i'll have one of those - hopefully =)
Great pictures! Your Dad sounds like a lot of fun.
National Geographic - that's great!! (And an iphone's not too shabby either).
So cool that your Dad is still so active. Your kids are lucky to have a hip and happening grandpa.
Have fun with your phone!
I thought your daughters clothes were cute. Who cares about matching? That's so old school.
They look like very nice parents!!
I HEART my iPhone. Welcome to the Sisterhood!
Sounds like a great visit and your parents sound as fun as you.
I just had to deal with a dead car battery the other day. Not so bad right, after you get your radio stations back and remember to change the a/c settings from celsius to farenheit.....
Great pictures! I cannot believe the Lord of the Gourds is being featured in NG, crazy. It is probably because of your documentation in your blog...not his. Enjoy that phone they are fun, I wish we had service for them out in the sticks.
I'm not at all surprised that your parents would be so fun--after all YOU ARE THEIR DAUGHTER.
Congrats to Jamie on National Geographic.
Congrats to you on the iPhone--I'm jealous.
